What happens to a snow angel after you leave it behind? A little girl
discovers she has an unusual protector in a modern fairy tale with
gorgeously detailed illustrations.
One night Sylvie awakens to an incredible sight: a glowing figure
tiptoeing across her floor, with enormous feathery wings wafting from
his back. He's muttering to himself, trying to remember his orders, for
this is his first flight. Could he really be the same angel she made
last winter in the snow? Sylvie's angel says she isn't supposed to see
him. He has been sent to save her life, and when the danger is past, she
won't remember he was there. But she does remember. She thinks of him
every day. And when nothing Sylvie does, no matter how risky, can make
him reappear, she realizes he'll always be there unseen when she truly
needs him. In a contemporary tale told with humor and warmth, paired
with Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini's enchanting artwork, Maggie O'Farrell
weaves the story of a spirited girl who finds a way to bring magic into
her own house--and enlist it to bring a sense of wonder to those she
loves.
